Russian captivity as the whole-life professional inspiration. War years of botanist Josef Podpěra
 Pazdera, David ; Kodera, Pavel
In the introduction of the study authors present their working typologization of career of Czech scientists during WW I. Consequently, they begin with the analysis of a war line of a Czech, or Moravian botanist Josef Podpěra, who is an interesting example how the military conflict in the certain circumstances could be an important benefit for a professional career. On the eve of the war Podpěra was an officer of c. k. Landsturm. In March 1915, when the fortification Přemyšl fell, he was taken as a Russian prisoner and was transported into eastern Russia town Ufa where he began with studying Russian nature and botany, since autum 1915 even under the patronage of the gubernian museum in Ufa. His scientific activity in Ufa was continuing till the approach of Czechoslovak legions which he joined in summer 1918. The continuance in Ufa gave Podpěra a solid base of knowledge of Russian nature and botany, which he built his very succesfull career at Masaryk university in Brno after war on.
